Usually you need a NAT rule from your host to the OAM IP.

For example a nat rule like this:
host:1022 -> OAM-IP:22

>From outside: ssh -p 1022 sysadmin@host

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] How to access Virtualized central cloud from outside the Host
 

[Please note: This e-mail is from an EXTERNAL e-mail address]

Hi,

 

I have installed the central cloud (All in one Duplex) in a virtualized environment. But not sure what NAT rules are required, to access it from outside the Host machine.

  • Below is my deployment.

  • I have tried below rules.

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING  -i ens1 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT  --to-destination 10.10.10.2:8080

iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT

 

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 10.10.11.0/24 -o enp125s0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 10.10.10.0/24 -o ens1 -j MASQUERADE

 

 

  • Ipv4 forwarding is enabled on the host and from Host I can reach the controllers.

 

But still could not see packet reaching to the controller. Any suggestion would be very helpful.

 

Thanks,

Ankush
